Presenting the First Class of the Alexa Accelerator, Powered by Techstars

Techstars is excited to announce the nine companies that will be joining the Alexa Accelerator, Powered by Techstars in Seattle. This is the program’s inaugural class and we are thrilled for the opportunity to partner with a local startup success story such as Amazon.

Each of our companies has a focus in voice integration ranging from a number of applications, including hardware, gaming, user testing, customer service, and more.

We’ll be kicking things off this week and are looking forward to three months of hard work and dedication. The program culminates on October 17 with Demo Night, where our teams will pitch their products and seek investment from top venture capitalists and angel investors.
